Established around 800 years ago by the ethnic Chăm people, the Bàu Trúc Pottery Village is one of the oldest craft villages of its kind in South-East Asia.
The village, which has existed since the reign of King Po Klong Garai (1151-1205) of the Champa Kingdom, holds a ceremony every year to honour Po Klong Chan, its founder.
Today, it stands as a historic, cultural, and artistic landmark in the south-central province of Ninh Thuận.
In 2018, the village’s long-standing traditional craft was recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
